irq complication
hi,

i looked around already and had no luck finding anything.

Im trying ot install a wpc11v3 linksys wireless card, and i have been for about a week now. Smilie Im near certain i have figured out my problem. When i plug in my card while knoppix is running, it crashes. When i plug it into the laptop and boot up, it loads the card and then crashes. Theres no way to run iwconfig or anything because my card crashes the system. I have to find a way to get the card to sit in the laptop without any crashing right. So im near certain it is a IRQ conflict between my PCI and another device. How can i configure my irq's running knoppix. knoppix is installed to my harddrive so i have no option to use any cheatcodes. everything i read pertains to cheatcodes and whatnot, and i have researched and i cant find any problems like this with IRQ's.

Im using a toshiba satellite 2540cds laptop. i checked the bios and there is no IRQ option in there. Also during hte boot option i see something lke irq error pci=irq something like that im not certain. I'll have to double check that.

regulatory.bin

regulatory.bin(5)                                                      Linux                                                     regulatory.bin(5)

NAME

       regulatory.bin, regulatory.db - The Linux wireless regulatory database

Description
       regulatory.bin and regulatory.db are the files used by the Linux wireless subsystem to keep its regulatory database information.

       regulatory.bin is read by crda upon the Linux kernel's request for regulatory information for a specific ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2 country
       code.

       regulatory.db is a newer, extensible database format which (since Linux 4.15) is read by the kernel directly as a firmware file.

       The regulatory database is kept in a small binary format for size and code efficiency. The regulatory.bin file can be parsed and read in
       human format by using the regdbdump command. The regulatory database files should be updated upon regulatory changes or corrections.

Upkeeping
       The regulatory database is maintained by the community as such you are encouraged to send any corrections or updates to the linux-wireless
       and wireless-regdb mailing lists: linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org and wireless-regdb@lists.infradead.org
